About Me

ENFP-T

Life is ever-changing and I join the flow. Have been working with my sister for 8 years in the family business, but a few years ago I went back to being the nomad that I am. At the moment I travel and practice meditation.

A random girl once told me that being "approachable" is my main quality. I'm still thankful for that insight. I really do wish for people to feel free and unburdened around me. To feel space to open up and be themselves. Whoever you are, you can always be yourself around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's no better way to meet someone then by inviting them into your home, or staying on their couch. I have hosted many people. Now I travel again, because I quit my job. So I can meet people abroad and sleep on someone else's couch for a change :) but I must say it has become more difficult to meet CS people over the years

Interests

I am interested in meditation and other spiritual practices for soul searching. Vipassana, Advaita, non-dualism. I love to spend time in silence at retreats. Also I love to travel and mingle with different cultures, learn languages and to connect. If you give me a djembé or a cajon we can make a party!
